Return To 1977 Chapter 390: Buy and Sell

"Er Head" successfully opened up a new "crop land" for Hong Yanwu.
Under his management, the "business" of "Dongfeng TV Factory" quickly got on the right track.
In just one week, they successfully obtained about fifty internal tickets.
Of course, they are all discounted internal tickets for the latter four types.
On this point, Hong Yanwu and "Two Heads" agree that money should be spent wisely.
So I threw away more than 10,000 yuan and got more than 50 cheap TVs into the warehouse of "Tianqiao Theater".
But this "Second Head" is not satisfied yet. His body and mind may have been depressed for too long. As soon as he finds a place where he can exert his energy, he is extremely eager to prove himself as soon as possible.
He immediately spoke to Hong Yanwu, saying that he hoped to allocate 10,000 yuan to him and let him take the "Roller" to try his luck at the "Jingcheng TV" factory at No. 2 Huayuan Road, Haidian District.
According to his estimation, "Peony" is similar to "Kunlun", and this should be the case internally.
But about this matter, "Second Head" himself felt a little regretful after saying it, because the amount of money was too much, and he was really not sure whether Hong Yanwu could achieve such a level of trust in him.
But it turned out that Hong Yanwu took out the money only the next day.
In his words, "Don't trust people when you doubt them, and don't trust people when you employ them. Just because you, the second leader, are willing to sacrifice your own interests for your brothers, I can trust you. What's more, just based on your idea, it's not worth so much. Count, what am I afraid of!”
Thus, this magnanimity and skill made "Two Head" even more impressed.
With Qi, people will do things differently.
After arriving in Haidian, "Er Tou" and "Gunzi" worked really hard, and they rented a local farmer's house to live. Every day at noon and after get off work in the afternoon, I would squat at the door of the dormitory of the "Jingcheng TV Factory".
In a few days, more than 40 TV sets came down.
When they called Hong Yanwu to find two tricycles to pull the goods, they also asked Hong Yanwu to bring an extra ten thousand yuan, because there were thirty more tricycles behind him.
"Second Head" excitedly told Hong Yanwu on the phone that he would stay here from now on. This is better than the "Dongfeng Factory". The factory is bigger and the discounted internal tickets are twice as much.
Of course Hong Yanwu was very happy after hearing this.
Not only because of the large amount of money here, but also because the area around the "Jingcheng TV Factory" is a place where birds don't poop. If "Er Tou" takes the initiative to run "Peony", he can stay in the city and run to "Kunlun" with "Tang Xin'er".
That would definitely save worry and effort, much better than Haidian, a large rural area. If there are other things in the capital, he can take care of them.
No need to explain anything. If people can think about him like this, he must be worthy of them.
Hong Yanwu is also quite interesting. As soon as he pulled the TV back, he turned around and asked someone to help "Second Head" and "Roller" to bring a whole cart full of food, drink, supplies, and shelter.
As for entertainment, there is no need to worry too much. The farmhouse is actually more interesting than the city. Besides, there is a TV.
From then on, "Er Head" and "Gunzi" became the "specialists" stationed in the "Beijing TV" factory. They have to spend at least two weeks here every month.
As for the rest of the time, as long as things are done and everything is arranged by themselves, they can go back to the city and enjoy themselves.
TV sets are bought quickly and sold quickly.
Although the weather is getting cold at the end of November, Hong Yanwu and the others can successfully make some out-of-town buyers sweat with excitement no matter which hotel or guest house they visit in the capital.
Those people were almost all the same, hunched over with beads of sweat on their foreheads, staring at the TV playing on the table with red eyes.
After playing with the antenna and rotating the buttons, the snowflakes on the screen were reduced to a level that met their needs. These people would start bargaining in dialects spoken in various places, and then impatiently place their orders, as if they were afraid that Hong Yanwu would regret it.
There are a few happy people who even buy three or five units at a time.
Why?
Firstly, things are difficult to get, and secondly, Hong Yanwu sells them "cheaply".
On the market, a domestic black-and-white TV worth 500 to 600 yuan only sells for 480 yuan. Who wouldn’t rush to get it?
These people had no idea how much advantage Hong Yanwu had taken advantage of them.
Each TV earns them at least two hundred. And even the invoices provided are fake.
This is because the invoices at that time were written with the amount of money written in Chinese characters. Hong Yanwu could not give them the real invoice, so he could only engrave a carrot seal to confuse things.
In fact, it has only been two weeks, and before the end of the month, 70% of the 130 internally processed TVs that I just received have been released.
At this rate, it is completely foreseeable that there will definitely be unsold pieces collected in the future.
What is even more surprising is that this has even made the prices of imported black and white TVs and color TVs in Hong Yanwu's hands rise to a higher level.
Because of the inertia of people's thinking, they like to make analogies in this way.
Those out-of-town buyers thought that since Hong Yanwu’s domestic black-and-white TVs were so “cheap”, the others must not be expensive either. It was a matter of course that I was relieved and relieved.
In short, among all the income of Hong Yanwu this month, the fastest way to make money is undoubtedly the sales of TV sets.
Not to mention anything else, Hong Yanwu and the others only used a total of eight people in this business. If it weren't for this special month, it would be almost equal to the entire monthly income of 19 theaters. If this isn't fast enough, it won't be any faster!
As for the remaining less than 40 domestic black and white TVs, they were not retained. Because he encountered such a huge benefit this time, and had ultra-low-priced real invoices in his hand to cover up the trouble, Hong Yanwu could no longer prevent insiders from enjoying this benefit.
Like "Tang Xin'er" calling "Ci'er Mei", one person picked out a TV first, without paying a word, and went back to watch it for nothing.
As for "Big Eyed Lantern" and even the "sub-rudders" in charge of nineteen theaters under Hong Yanwu, everyone took one back at the original price.
The key is that there are still people who are successful.
As soon as "Ci'ermei" got such a bargain and in short supply, "little landowner" got wind of it.
Although the confidentiality work of "Ciermei" has been ongoing, the "small landowners" do not know exactly how they got hold of "Ciermei". But he knew that the TV sets they had were half cheaper than those in the mall.
As a result, with such publicity, "Xiao Leizi", "Bacha", "Nail", "Yaozi", "Xiao Suanzao", "Big Old Fart" and other "handles" have become somewhat friendly. But just by smelling it, they all came one by one.
They are all men, and they are also the masters of the scene, so they must be respected. Can you still have the nerve to earn their money?
Yes, six units are discounted from the original price.
Especially "Xiao Leizi", he is really kind to his "big brother". He was not afraid of getting into trouble by burning buns, and even bought a color TV for the "old ghost" to watch. This caused Hong Yanwu to make less money.
But it’s not over yet. Others have benefited. Hong Yanwu can't forget his own family, right?
He used the one hundred and fifty "apprentice machine" invoice as a cover to get a two hundred and eighty "exhibition machine" home.
Of course the family was very satisfied. His parents, brother-in-law, sister, and nephew all praised him for doing such a beautiful thing.
But this kind of ironing also had a chain sequelae, that is, his home suddenly became a movie theater for the entire hospital.
No matter whether it was Uncle Bian, Aunt Bian, Lao Ding and his wife with "Ling'er", or Lao Su and Su Xiu, for several days in a row, whenever there was a good show in the evening, they all took the initiative to visit Hong's house. .
They have only heard of this kind of home appliance, so they would be surprised and excited to experience the fun of TV with their own eyes.
The first time it was played, Lao Ding’s eyes widened.
"Oh...it's coming out, it's coming out...it's really coming out!"
Aunt Ding also smacked her lips and kept praising her.
"Look, it's so clear. Except for more snowflakes and smaller figures, it's no worse than watching a movie..."
Aunt Bian is concerned about other aspects.
"Yunlin, how much did you buy it for? One hundred and sixty yuan?...Although it is cheaper than outside...but buying meat is enough to last for several years. Are you really willing to give it up?"
Before Wang Yunlin could respond, Uncle Bian finally caught up with his wife.
"Go, go, go, you are still the chief director of the Kuomintang Revolutionary Committee, and you only know how to eat meat? Do you understand, if we can take a fancy to this, we will enter modernization early. It is worth the money!"
Chen Liquan couldn't help but start a conversation.
"Uncle Bian, actually it's not even close. There are color TVs, and they sell for less than two thousand now. But don't worry, let's just make do with the black and white one first, and then change it in two years."
Hong Yanzheng curled his lips after hearing this.
"Pull it down, Quanzi! Color TV? Two thousand for it? Can you change such an expensive thing at the drop of a hat? We little people don't have such high requirements, just black and white. You have to be more economical, I think that's all in this life. It's..."
Since Su Xiu used the VCR, she has been fully brainwashed by Hong Yanwu. She is another girl who can't keep her mouth shut, and now she comes to support Chen Liquan.
"Brother, don't say that. I think what Quanzi said is more reasonable. Times are developing. Don't say that black and white will be replaced by colored ones sooner or later. Foreigners still have two TVs in their homes. ”
Lao Su saw his daughter interrupting and eventually joined in.
"You brag, you bratty girl. Why do foreigners need two TVs? One eye with one eye? He's making a fool of himself..."
"Hahaha..."
A burst of laughter made Su Xiu pout in embarrassment.
In this way, the Hong family became completely lively.
Watching "Bitter Cauliflower" and "White-Haired Girl" together, Aunt Bian and Aunt Ding could hold their heads and cry together.
A Peking Opera "Guillotine Case" allows Hong Lucheng and Lao Su to name almost all the bronze-hammered faces in old Beijing and comment on their singing characteristics.
In a football match, the "Little Kuailing" of the national football team showed their prowess for the first time, soaring the patriotism of all men.
At that time, the national football team was still very popular, with a rather "poor but ambitious" attitude and the attitude of really daring to risk one's life. It's no better than those "stars" nowadays who only know women when they go to the kang, but they only know money when they get off the kang.
So Lao Ding’s rash words, “I guess I want to win too much,” caused everyone to criticize him. I almost became a "traitor" and was riddled with spit.
Of course, everything was peaceful afterwards.
Anyway, during that time, dinner at the Hong family became very hasty just because everyone knew they were going to watch TV. I had to force my dinner to be moved up half an hour every day according to the broadcast time of the TV show.
Otherwise, before you finish eating, it will be time for the TV show to show up, and you will catch up with people coming to your door. I was still holding a bowl and drinking "pimple soup", which was so embarrassing.
However, this kind of happy and troubled days did not last for a few days.
Because on the one hand, Hong Yanwu also wanted his neighbors to take advantage of it, so he had already explained the ins and outs of the TV set clearly. He also promised that if anyone wanted to buy it, he could help find a way.
On the other hand, the neighbors are all well-informed and polite people, and they are embarrassed to bother them every day.
So each family member closed the door and made a summary in private. They felt that Hong Yanwu's career path was indeed quite suitable. Not to mention the price is half cheaper than in the store, and there is an invoice issued by the TV manufacturer, which is reliable.
Just bite the bullet and buy it!
Just like that, because of Hong Yanwu, the East Branch of Guanyin Yuan all joined hands in 1978 and gloriously entered the television era.
Hong Yanwu deliberately hid this news, and made excuses to prevent others from asking for help. He did not let the three neighbors tell the outside world.
Otherwise, let foreign reporters know. It was enough for all four of their families to be featured in foreign newspapers and magazines.
Only Shou Jingfang is a different person.
Although Hong Yanwu gave him a black and white TV for free, he wanted his cousin to enjoy a modern life. But he was afraid of any noise other than the chirping of birds.
When this TV was first brought to his home, he opened it and glanced at it a few times, but it has not been touched since.
It was a very good thing, but it was just left at home gathering dust.
